I'm familiar with the Jerusalem Artichoke, as most of the people from the "country" in SC would load me up with Artichoke Relish they make each year and can...I like it with pepper heat applied. I will get with a golfing buddy that is a retired state plant and conservation man to see what the leaves look like...now, I'm curious. I still have some from 10 years ago....had a lot! Figs were another thing I got as a gift lots of times. Turkey Figs mostly. I had read about the Potato Clan Legend just a few days ago. Based on the Legend, all of us that are mixed blood and have no Clan that we know of are, for ceremony purposes, a member of the Potato Clan? :) Is there any recorded information about who was in which clan? Next time holler...I'll ship you some potatoes!
